How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Far fewer than 114 weekly public transport departures per 1,000 people are available in Durack, which is among the lowest rates in the country. This lack of transit options makes private vehicles essential for most residents in this vast area.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
